Ferne McCann feels "upset" after an intimate picture of her was posted online.
A photo of the ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star posing topless was circulated among her social circle through mobile phone app, Snapchat, last week.
Speaking about the incident, the 24-year-old beauty told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I’m upset about this picture. It was obviously a personal one and never intended for the public domain.
"I don’t know how it’s been leaked or whether I’ve been hacked, but I feel totally betrayed that someone could do this to me.
"I think it’s disgusting. However, I now just want to move on and concentrate on the new series of ‘TOWIE’."
Ferne’s boyfriend, Charlie Sims, is reportedly angry about the leaked picture.
A source said: "Charlie and Ferne are stronger than ever and he’s furious that someone would do this to her.
"He’s protective and wants to put a stop to anyone sharing the snap further."
The couple are currently in Ibiza with the rest of the cast, filming for the new series of the show.
The insider added: "She’s really excited about the new series and she’s determined not to let this ordeal get her down."
The leak of Ferne’s topless photo comes just months after former ‘TOWIE’ star, Lauren Goodger, had an intimate video leaked online.
Other celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna have had their nude photographs leaked online by hackers in recent weeks.
